COMMENTS

S need not be a subset of {0,1,2,...,n}, unlike the definition in A046693.

EXAMPLE
|
a(18)=7 since all integers in {0,1,2...18} are differences of elements of {0,6,9,10,17,22,24}, but not of any 6-element set.
In other words, {0,6,9,10,17,22,24} is an unrestricted difference basis w.r.t. A005488(7)=18.
